The Man is happy. The Woman is happy. That means Gatz is happy. He'd like to forget about the trouble he made to get them back together -- only slightly ashamed at his antics -- and focus on the future. The Woman and New Man are about to get married, after all. But when The Woman loses her job because of some bad press about the two of them, her confidence is broken and she can't help but feel resentful towards New Man when his own career stays intact. Gatz has to give it to him; New Man remains as patient as a saint (of course he does).
The Man is doing better, too, thanks to the New Woman in his life, who just so happens to be a writer as well. But two authors in the same relationship can sometimes be one too many, and they find themselves getting quite competitive with each other. But Gatz has faith in them -- The Man did learn from his mistakes, didn't he?
Gatz doesn't know what happened to these two perfectly happy couples, but he knows one thing is for sure: not all families are alike, and happiness can be found in the unlikeliest pockets -- just like treats!

3.5 stars. Cute, quick read that continues the adventures of Gatz, the most intelligent and perceptive border collie in history and the humans who share join custody of him. This time Gatz has to intervene when Man meets a New Woman (seriously, he's a genius but he doesn't do names?) and continues to be clueless about how to have a mature relationship. And Woman and New Man are engaged, but face a relationship crisis when the Woman is accused of bad behavior by someone on Twitter and the accusations go viral. As in [b:Joint Custody 53733110 Joint Custody Lauren Baratz-Logsted https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1598833047l/53733110.SX50.jpg 84057349], you really have to suspend your disbelief extremely hard (a dog can turn on a radio and change the station?) and just enjoy Gatz's charming narration and surprisingly perceptive ruminations about love. The ending of the book leaves the door open for another book in the series, which is fine with me. How about a little romance for Gatz himself?
